How does your high school team look this year?

ours is solid, we should go to state this year (only to be swallowed by an academy team)

[Jonny S&V]

I'm basically it for the high school... Looking to medal at state, but after me there is a HUGE drop-off... I'll have to hit with some of the guys on the college team in-town after practices if they don't mind... :(

[deddied]

Well, our anyone from our 2-4 could play 2 (especially my younger brother), but our number 5, not good.

Who do you have besides you?

[BigBUBBA]

My high school is public and consistently wins confrence in signles and dubs, but loses in the quarters-semis at state to private academies...

[deddied]

Who do you have besides you?

well, we have abe carryl at 2, sim at 3, abe's cosin at 4, and 3 people fighting for the 5 spot. our 2 and 4 don't do alot of tournaments but they can simeon,

[TennisNinja]

Not too good, unles Nick Kamisar decides to come back. The HS tennis here is a joke.

[beckham]

my high school team is coed, and we have lots of good guys but no girls...we are prob. going to not do to well.

[JMS]

We're looking solid, we added a 5, 4, and two 3 star recruits from Tennis Recruiting Network. I played number one last year and made All-Conference, top 10 -players in conference (in a strong conference) and I'll be playing number 5 this year. So i went from top 4 or 5 in the conference to top 4 or 5 on my own team.

[SirBlend12]

My former team is looking like a crash and burn except for my main hitting partner (who SHOULD take 1st singles) and possibly, if he ever bothers to practice, the young'n could do well at 2nd.

I could see each of them having about even w/l records (i.e. like 10-10 each).

The team is in a decent district, so it's never easy.

And if they're the only two who can win, I predict a repeat of last year... perfect 0-21 record (1st and 2nd singles>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> rest of team... wasn't the best note to end on.)

[Psyballa]

We're f***ed royally come district time. We have a really good shot this year at getting the league title, because we're all hungry seniors who want to pull out the "big one" as a great goodbye.

I picture you guys beating Moreau.

[SmAsH999]

our #2 player is one of the top players in the middle states, however, number 3 and 5 cannot play.

[Jonny S&V]

Sounds like our situation... They should create a different class for private schools...

[BullDogTennis]

oh, blah. naaa....would that be satisfying at all, to win state? when all the "good players" were playing a differnt division?

[Jonny S&V]

It would be for me, there are plenty of decent individuals in normal high school here (like me), but the private schools in our state actively "recruit" (of course, they don't come right out and say it...) and get absolutely stacked teams that no public high school could compete with (due to the depth).

[Dashbarr]

Our team looks alright, its really a matter of whether everyone is ready for it. Best case we take league, worst case probably 3rd.

[Tallahassee_Technifibre]

We are looking great this year, hopefully I can beat the coaches son(freshmen) to become #1 ,but we are always solid going to states again!

[deddied]

welcome back tech, you guys always have a good team.

[ChuDat]

I want to see your schools game with MSJ.

[Dashbarr]

I want to see you guy game with MSJ.

That's our main competition, but Irvington looks pretty strong this year too. Hopefully we don't get smashed like we usually do. Maybe my joining the team will mean better season, but 3rd is almost assured.

[ChuDat]

what position will you be playing?

[prestige_player]

my team is going to do well, quite a few new varsity players, we keep loosing all our good players, every year seems like a new team, especially this year.

[a_2c+]

my team is looking hopeful this year...but i have NO IDEA how we're gonna arrange the singles & doubles teams. singles is lookin good though (league-wise), and doubles.....eh....who knows.

we have no chance in state-(CIF)-we never made it past 2nd round. :-P

[xpaulinabearx]

basically let me tell you this:

my coach is an @$$hole.
he felt sorry for some players and let them on the team.
sad to say we were in the top 10 last year, and this year is probably our worst season ever.
i mean, i still have respect for him, and i learn more and more from him everyday, but i dont think he should have let those girls on the team.
i dont even think they're 2.0s -_-

but hey! you're playing tennis in california! :-P (me too...)

don't worry about you're team though: if you hate your team, forget about it-focus on goin to CIF individuals... :-P lol

[S H O W S T O P P E R !]

Once we have tryouts, I'll report back.

[Dashbarr]

what position will you be playing?

Sorry for the late post, but I think i'll be playing 3 varsity singles, possibly 2 or 4 depending on how much few guys have played in the off-season

[xpaulinabearx]

Do you ever hit in Union City?

[Dashbarr]

Do you ever hit in Union City?

Nah, not really. I stick to the Fremont Tennis Center and occasionally hit at the courts at American, even though they are horrible.

[ChuDat]

How often do you hit at the center? I'm might hit there sometime

[kashgotmoney]

its only me and 2 other people and a huge drop off. i will play leaugue this year.

[Dashbarr]

How often do you hit at the center? I'm might hit there sometime

Since school has started, usually on Fridays and weekends. I'll probably be going by a bit less once season starts.

[a_2c+]

hahaha, yeaaah.

-.-

bleh. (-.-)...

[caltennis]

I heard American HS doesn't have a coach. Could anyone from
the Fremont area clarify that?
Is Bill Patton's son playing for MSJ or CV? Or maybe another HS?
Does the Fremont Tennis Center have indoor courts and/or outdoor courts?And is there a fee?
Do you think Alameda HS will be strong this year? Would Monte Carlo take NCS again?
[General Question]:What is the #1 team in your league?
We'll work one game at a time and see how the league season would turn out. Hopefully, we would do well enough to reach playoffs.

-Yeah I heard they do now

-His son will be playing at CV

-No indoor courts and there is a fee
Do you think Alameda HS will be strong this year? Would Monte Carlo take NCS again?
Probably even though they lost 2 key players and I think you mean Monte Vista.
[General Question]:What is the #1 team in your league?
Right now its Moreau Catholic, but CV seems pretty strong as well as Arroyo.

btw what league are you in?

[caltennis]

I see, American has a coach now...
Yeah, thanks for correcting me. I wasn't sure about the ending of Monte [Vista]. I heard Mark de Castro is dominant in his league. I may not be right, but correct me if I'm wrong. It seems that MC still has Derek Lloyd and Derek Lee also. Does MC have any other player around that level? Since Bill Patton's son is playing for CV, how do you think it would work out if MSJ and CV were to meet in NCS?

Yes Mark dominant last year and Derek Lloyd and Lee are juniors now. MC lost one key player in there singles last year so their #4 spot is going to look blank. I think MSJ would win even though CV is a strong team I still think MSJ is alittle stronger. If they were to play it would be a good match.

[caltennis]

Bill Patton coaches MSJ right? Father and son conflict?
It sounds like you are from that area. Was your team able to book a team match with MSJ?

[ChuDat]

No its because Bill is from CV and I don't think he'd want to drive all the way to fremont, then back to cv then back to fremont for practice. No we never got to play MSJ, to be honest they would kill us, unless we stack our singles players.

[caltennis]

I thought he coached for MSJ. Maybe it was years before or maybe I'm just wrong. I hear ya. MSJ would kill us too. It sounds like you are from CV, forgive me if I am wrong.
Earlier I did not notice "btw what league are you from". Sorry about that. I will play in the HAAL league.

[ChuDat]

Patton does coach MSJ or atleast I think he does and I'm from the HAAL league and don't play for cv

[caltennis]

I see. Sorry about that. What courts do you hit at?

[ChuDat]

I usually play in Union City

[caltennis]

Do you play for Moreau Catholic?

[ChuDat]

nope I can't afford to go to moreau. I go to Mt. Eden, we're not a really noticable team, hopefully that changes this season

[RestockingTues]

Our team looks alright, its really a matter of whether everyone is ready for it. Best case we take league, worst case probably 3rd.
We got 3rd last year, no fcking way we're pulling that again.

Patton from the D*uchebag School of Tennis? :evil:

Never seen a girl that plays with a K90 before.

That's kind of hot ;-)

EDIT: I hope that's a girl. And not some horny Canadian who likes to bang wildlife named Paul in a Bear. :?

[the 10s n00b]

weve got around 7 good kids but alot are in out now and some moved

[the 10s n00b]

do alot of people on your guys team use n tours...?

[ChuDat]

do alot of people on your guys team use n tours...?
nope in fact no one does

[Dashbarr]

Dude. How are we NOT going to get third? Washington, Kennedy, Newark, and Logan all are pretty weak. We just gotta get our act together, and hope we split with MSJ and Irvington.

[bab pure drive roddick]

according to tennis warehouse, we have 2 three stars, 3 two stars, and 3 one stars.

LOL!
yeah, i'm a girl LOL.

[nadalfan!]

My team was solid and we ended up coming in 8 in the state or something like that. I know we were top ten. I got all the way to the quarterfinals but I ended up losing to the #1 seed in 4 singles. I lost the match 6-0, 7-5. The first set was closer than the score makes it and we went to a lot of deuces and in the second I was up 5-4 and serving but I guess I could not pull it off yet. I played well and so did he and apparently he was the better player that day. Period (no excuses).

[jblock1]

my teams also solid.. we got a top senior in nation as well as some other top players.. I play 3rd singles for team but im only a frsh.

3 k factor six ones w/ blade grips on each w/ personalized strings..

what districts u guys in?

[jblock1]

nadalfan, for shoes i use the nike air dragons, very comfortable, good grip and best of all.. a shoe worn by rafa

[ChuDat]

LOL!
yeah, i'm a girl LOL.

what's your main racquet, the tour or team?

[Psyballa]

I picture you guys beating Moreau.

Yeah, I can imagine it too. I've been putting in tons of miles and balls over the winter break and I hope it's about to pay off. Somewhere along the line I lost my edge and let some people get ahead of me so I'm not even Varsity ANYMORE. Hopefully I'll be playing a match against our #7 and get it back to where I need to be.

Honestly, I'm hoping to play 1-singles this year. I'm way too hungry to have any other goals.
